Attributes of RHINOCORT AQUA

RHINOCORT AQUA prescription nasal spray helps relieve nasal allergy symptoms, whether they are present year round or only during certain seasons. Take a look at some of the key benefits of RHINOCORT AQUA:

RHINOCORT AQUA offers dosing convenience.

RHINOCORT AQUA helps provide relief from sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose with once-daily dosing! Plus you can get up to 60 days of therapy in every bottle of RHINOCORT AQUA Nasal Spray at the recommended starting dose. That may mean fewer trips to the drugstore! Your doctor may prescribe RHINOCORT AQUA at a dose of 1 to 4 sprays per nostril once daily. Take RHINOCORT AQUA exactly as directed.

RHINOCORT AQUA has demonstrated safety.

When taken as prescribed, RHINOCORT AQUA can be a safe and effective nasal allergy treatment. In studies, patients who took RHINOCORT AQUA had about the same number of side effects as patients taking placebo. Those side effects included nosebleed, nasal and throat irritation, and cough.

RHINOCORT AQUA works quickly to relieve your nasal allergy symptoms.

Your nasal allergy symptoms may begin to improve within 10 hours after first using RHINOCORT AQUA. In one group of patients that were studied, RHINOCORT AQUA and the nasal spray mometasone furoate both improved nasal allergy symptoms within 8 hours. However, you must continue to take your medication every day, as directed by your doctor. Your nasal allergy symptoms will continue to improve over the first few days, and maximum relief may take about 2 weeks to achieve.

RHINOCORT AQUA has no alcohol and no fragrance.

Fragrances can be wonderful—in flowers, perfume, and freshly baked bread. But you may not want it in a nasal spray. RHINOCORT AQUA helps provide effective nasal allergy treatment for patients 6 years of age and older, and it is scent-free and alcohol-free.

RHINOCORT AQUA is effective.

RHINOCORT AQUA works for both seasonal and year-round nasal allergies. That means it may help ease the discomfort caused by mold spores and pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, as well as year-round triggers such as dust mites, mold, and pet dander. One of the reasons RHINOCORT AQUA is effective is because it targets the source of the problem, by reducing the underlying inflammation that causes your nasal allergy symptoms.

The bottom line is, you can get relief from your seasonal or your year-round nasal allergy symptoms from RHINOCORT AQUA. If you're not already taking RHINOCORT AQUA, maybe it's time you asked your doctor (or your child's doctor) about whether it may be right for you!
